No. 1 approval rating, but I can’t laugh.

“The opposition party was originally eaten by the government or ruling party’s mistake.”


Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Power Emergency Response Committee, said in his recent speech, “Isn’t the party approval rating rising because of the government situation?” Mr. A, who was a participant at the time, told the JoongAng Ilbo reporter, “I wanted to say more that there were no more people to hit (on this rise) compared to the party approval rating, but I quit in fear of ruining the atmosphere.. Afterwards, we talked about the rising party approval rating for a while.”

In the real meter announcement the day before (28th), the power of the people recorded 33.8%, a 2.2 percentage point increase from last week. In addition, the gap was outside the margin of error from 29.3% (1.3% point↓) of the Democratic Party. (YTN commissioned a survey of 2008 people over the age of 18 from the 21st to the 24th. A 95% confidence level plus 2.2% points). Although there are differences in numbers, even in the Gallup Korea survey, the people’s power is rising (18% in the second week of November → 21% in the third week of December). (Refer to the website of the Central Election Poll Review Committee for details).

Nevertheless, the situation within the people’s strength is complicated. Even though Chairman Kim’s claim that “the opposition party approval rating is a reflection effect on the original passport,” he said, “The first opposition party should get approval ratings by doing well, not to be a dependent variable of the passport.This is because the opinions of ”are also difficult.

In a call with JoongAng Ilbo, Director of Insight K Bae Jong-chan said, “If you look at the trend of approval ratings of the people’s power, there is not a fluctuation in the approval ratings due to internal factors of the party, but according to the circumstances of the passport, such as the disciplinary action of President Yoon, court decisions, soaring house prices, and the corona 19 vaccine controversy It is influenced.”

Professor Kim Hyung-joon of Myongji University also said, “In the power of the people, the remnants of the’impeached Park Geun-hye party’ and the’old party’ remain, and the aspect as an authoritative alternative party is still insufficient. It is also in the same context that the candidate for national strength cannot stand out.”

In various opinion polls, Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is the leader in the opposition among the next presidential candidates. In the real-meter survey the previous day (requested by OhmyNews), President Yoon ranked 1st with 23.9%, while Democratic Party President Lee Nak-yeon and Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong tied for 2nd place with 18.2%. In addition, independent lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo (6.0%), Ahn Cheol-soo, head of the National Assembly Party (4.0%), and Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae (3.1%). Former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon (2.9%) and former lawmaker Seung-min Yoo (2.8%), who belong to the People’s Power, remained at the 2% level.

In the election of the mayor of Seoul next year, the leader of the opposition candidates is Representative Ahn of the National Assembly. In a survey of candidate approval ratings for the mayor of Seoul, which was announced on the 22nd by Hangil Research on the 22nd, CEO Ahn ranked first with 17.4%.
The people’s strength is hoping for Ahn and former lawmaker Geum Tae-seop (withdrawal from the Democratic Party) to join the group, but they are negative because they say “the voting is poor.”

Within the power of the people, there are many complaints about the party leadership. Rep. Jung-jin of the party, who wanted to remain anonymous, said, “Until recently, Chairman Kim cut down the inside of the party as if there were no people, and looked for’external wriggles’.” There was no oriental medicine distance, no sharpness to penetrate the gap.”
Some of the party also interpreted the expression of Kim Do-eup’s secretary to the judiciary committee as “the dimension of protest against the party leadership, who lacks strategy”.

Regarding this, an official on the side of Chairman Kim said, “Even in the Park Geun-hye administration, it was not because the Democratic Party was good, but because the ruling party at that time was not able to change the approval rating.” Since the Kim Jong-in non-subcommittee system is in place and the party is put on the test of innovation, it is possible to absorb even reflective profits.”Insisted.
